MONEY MARKET AND COMMNIWIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. One of the largest private undertakings that have yet been converted into a limited joint-stock com pany is the Ebbw Vale Collieries and Ironworks, which are to be constituted as the Ebbw Vale Com• pany, and for which a capital of £4,000,000 in shares of 150 each is required. An idea of the ex tent of the property may be gathered from the fact that it comprises 3,254 acres of freehold land and Mines, 2,137 acres of leasehold mines, 700 acres of mines held under the Crown, and about nine miles in length of the spathose iron ore veins in Somer. setshire, together with 2,000 houses aLd cottages, accommodating . a population of 15,000 persons. The rentals from land, farms, and houses amount to 14,000 a year; the collieries produce 850,000 tons of coal annually, which could at little extra cost be increased to 1 500,000 ; and the yield of ironstone is 280,000 tons, which could be increased to 450,000 There are 23 blast furnaces on the estate, 16 of Which are in operation,yielding at present annually about 130,000 tons of pig iron. About 90,000 tons of rails end finished iron are sold annually, which, with the present p ant, could be raised to 120,000. The valuations of the property have been carefully made, and the magnitude its operations has attained is stated to be the only reason for its conversion into a public company. Tne prospectus of " The London" Hotel Com• parry has been issued with a proposed capital of £55,000 in 5,500 of £lO each, £1 payable on ap plication, and £4 on allotment. The association is formed for the purpose of converting "The London" into a company, under the provisions of the Act of 1862. The Directors refer to the fact that there is no class of enterprise which derives greater benefit from the application of the new act than that of public places of entertainment, and quote as illustrations the success of the London Tavern and Albion Hotel, which were carried into operation only six months since, and the shares now stand at 60 per cent. premium, while the business has in creased to an unprecedented extent, which they attribute to the combined interest of so many shareholders. There is . no doubt but that " The Landon" has attained a most satisfactory position under its late able management, and that its profits have been highly remunerative, and by this organi sation may be considerably augmented. The pro. perty proposed to be purchased consists of the lease of the premises for 33 years, with good-will, furni ture, &c., at the price of £34,500, one-half of which is to be taken in shares, with £7 credited thereon. The present manager has agreed to undertake the management of the company's business for three years for one-half the profits after the payment of a 121 per cent. dividend guaranteed on all the capital invested. The gentlemen who form the board are eminently practical and responsible men, Whose names will inspire confidence in the project. Two o'CLocK. At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to Reuter's telegrams, the Three per Cent. Rentes Were quoted 65f. 75c. Fiat. At the first meeting of shareholders to-day of the Public Works Credit Company, the directors recommended that, in addition to the bonus of £1 per share already proposed, a dividend at the rate cf 10 per cent. per annum, free of income tax, be declared. Na alteration has taken place to-day in the mar ket for the English Funds, and only a limited amount of business has been transacted. Consols are 90 k for transfer, and 90k a for the account.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Goulburn.) In RE COL. WALIGH.--.APPLICATION FOR AN ALLOWANCE TO THE BANKRUPT. Mr Sargood applied in the case of Col. Waugh, for an allowance to the bankrupt, on the ground that he was in a state of utter destitution, having been wholly occupied in assisting Messrs. Brown and Dubois, the accountants appointed by the Court to prepa:•e the accounts. He (Mr Sargood) urged that there was a very large sum in hand available for a dividend, a great portion of which had been derived from Mr Waugh's private estate. • His Honour doubted whether he had any authority to make any order atter such a lapse of time since the surrender (March, 1863), especially as the bankrupt had taken £5OO when he went away, Mr Linklater, for the assignees, said he was willing to leave the matter entirely in the hands of the Court, and the assignees would be per tectly satisfied. His Honour asked whether there was any instance where an allowance had been made after such a lapse of time? Mr. Sargood said he was not prepared to show one, but this was an exceptional case. His Honour said that he did not feel at all inclined to decide the point—the assignees had throughout acted with the greatest fairness and candour, and had also done their strictest duty to the creditors at large—he should leave the matter entirely in their hands, but probably, if the bankrupt was so wholly destitute as he said, they might consider his application favourably. Mr Munn appeared to oppose on behalf the Eastern Banking Corporation, but, as they had not proved their debt, his Honour said he could not hear him. Mr Sargood suggested S 1 a week from the time of sur render, and up to the time of last examination. Mr Linklate' said he would communicate with the assignees on the subject. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET. A Wovl,n•BE SUICIDE,—.EmiIy Yates, a married woman, of 15, Saville-street, M.rylebone, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with attempting to commit suicide by cutting her throat. Rol ett Pitt, 171 E, said that yesterday he was called to 8, Saville-street, and informed that the prisoner had attempted to cut her throat. A Scripture reader, who had gone for a constable, on his return gave him a razor which he had taken from tke prisoner. The prisoner had been drinking, and there was a female, 85 years of age, with her in the room. Prisoner said she had been drinking with some other women, and they pledged her shawl and then beat her, and this caused her to attempt to destroy herself. She was sorry for what she had done, but would not repeat the act. The person in the room with her was her mother. In answer to Mr Tyrwhitt, Inspector Garforth said the Scripture reader was not present. The prisoner said her husband worked at Chelsea, and that if she were allowed to go she would not offend again. Mr Tyrwhitt observed that he could not let her go with out some kind of security that she would not do such a thing again. if her husband came for her she would be given up to him ; if not, sho would be remanded. A DOERVIX4 CisE.—lnspector Walker of the C Divi sion, introduced to Mr Tyrwhitt this morning a poor widow named Ann Palpey, and stated that her husband had died a few days ago after two hours' illness ; that she was left with five children, the eldest only 10 3 ears of age, and that she was at present without means of gaining a livelihood for them. Mr Walker further stated that Mrs Palm had been known to him for some years, and that she was a very deserving person. Mr Tyrwhitt afforded Mrs Palpey some assistance from ,he poor-box, for which she seemed very grateful, WESTMINSTER. ATTEMPT TO STAB.—Catherine C0c.,3 - $, a middle-aged woman, was charged belore Mr Selfe with attempting to stab Mary Neville, a married woman, in Manor-street, Chelsea. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner and the. prosecuirix lived in 111 mot-street, and that an ill feeling existed between them. Between 8 and 9 o'clock last night some words took place between them. In the course of the dispute, the prisoner, who had a knife in her hand, made a plunge at prosecutrix with it, and . it cut her slightly upon the nose. The procecutrix fell, and when she was on the ground, she raised the knife, and was about to stab the prosecutrix with it. She was prevented by her (prosecutrix's) husband from doing her an injury, as he held her hand, but in doing so his own hand was cut. The husband of the prosecutrix said that had the knife not have been blunt he had no doubt but that murder woula have been committed. Mr Selfe—What is the cause of the quarrel ? The husband replied that he did not know, and he stated that his wite had been a good friend to her. Luring the scuffle the prisoner aimed a blow at him with the knife. The knife was taken away from her with a great deal of diffi culty. She had had three months' imprisonment for a previous assault. The knife (a table knite) was produced. Mr Selfe—Did the prisoner say anything when she used the knife ? Husband—No, Sir, she was in such a rage. Tho prisoner did not deny the assault, when Mr Selfe observed that ehe was a moat dangerous woman, and that her temper must be controlled. In her passion one of these days she would commit murder. - --- She was sent for two months to the house of Correction. THAMES. EXTENSIVE AND DARING .11iO3BERY .—James Jones, aged 40, and described as a labourer, of 92, Eastfield-s.reet, Limehouse, was brought before Mr Partridge charged with stealing 480 yards of red cambric, valued £36, from a barge called The Sisters, on the Regent's Canal., Mr William Adams, an inspector of Thames police, said he saw the prisoner on Haggerstone-bridge, in the parish of Shoreditch, yesterday evening. The prisoner was look ing at a barge called The Sisters, laden with valuable mer chandise, coming along the Regent's Canal towards the bridge, He followed the barge and kept the prisoner in view, for he knew that a robbery was intended. At last he went to Eastfield-street, Limehouse, the eastern end of which looked on to the canal. There was a fence at the end of the street. He saw the prisoner leave the barge and come towards the fence. A man followed the prisoner with a large sack on his back containing something bulky. The prisoner climbed over the fence into Eastfield-street, and the man behind him pitched the sack and its contente over the fence. The prisoner immediately raised the sack from the ground, put it on his shoulder, and was proceed. ing towards his own house when he seized the prisoner, and assisted by a constable took the load to the station house, The sack cowained 20 pieces of red cambric, each piece containing 24 yards. The value of it was is 6d pet yard, and it was in charge of the Great Northern Railway Company for exportation to India.

James Briden, a police sergeant, No. 4 K, said that he took the prisoner into custody this rucrning, and he said that he took the note on Hampton Racecourse on the after noon of the 16th of June, at 5 o'clock, in payment of a bet. The prisoner—Yes, I took it at 5 o'clock—the day Caller On won the Queen's Plate, Mr Partridge—You took it on Hampton Racecourse four hours and a hall before it was lost, and did not part with it till the following Monday ? I don't believe you took it on Hampton race-course. Briden—The prisoner gave a fictitious address. Mr Partridge said the prisoner was a dishonest fellow, who found the lost note, and instead of looking for the owner, whose address was on the tam paper, he converted it to his own use, Re fined the prisoner 20s for the unlawful possessiea of the note, and in default one month's impri sonment, ACHROMATIC TELESCOPE.—Messrs, So'omens and Co. (,f London) have produced a beautiful achro matic telescope, terrestrial and celestial, for the nominal sum of 45. The instrument, in all important respects, is well adapted for all its purposes; in fact, is equal to one usually costing £7O. It shows clearly the planets and their satellites, the belts of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, &0., &c. The face of a man four miles and a half away, the shot marks on a target two miles distant, and the time on a clock dial ten miles distant, are distindtly seen. The instrument has a 3-inch superior achromatic object glass, the body is metal, covered with a polished brass tube, with the accompaniment of terrestrial eye-piece, as also an astronomical eye-piece of the best construction. A dark glass, for the Sun, is suit ably mounted on an appropriate portable metal tri:Jod with pillar and stand. Its cheapness is as marvellous as its power is wonderful, and will prove a great boon to parents and those who are anxious to impart to the young, or to study themselveo, the sublime science of astronomy, and not unimportant to our rifle volunteers during their riio contests and practices, Meeting of the Conservative Party. Yesterday, at two o'clock, a meeting of the Opposition to consider the policy of her Majesty's Government in re ference to the Dano-German question took place at the residence of th 3 Marquis of Salisbury, in Arlington-street.

Walsh, Bart., Samuel Waterhouse, Wm. Earle Wel by Gregory, Right Hon, James Whiteside, H. Whitmore, and Basil Thomas Woodd. The Earl if DERBY first addressed the meeting. He commenced his observations by stating that during the last two or three sessions several attacks had been made in Par liament upon the Established Church of this country, but that, owing to the firm front that had been opposed to them, they had been discontinued, and he might say they were now abandoned. He would not, he said, trouble them by referring to the 800 pages of papers on the Denmark question which had been laid before Parliament, or with fhe 161 pages of protocols and papers which had been .ssued that morning, but would content himself with re viewing in a very few words the course of proceeding which had been adopted by the noble earl the Secretary for Foreign Affairs (EArl Russell) and by the noble lord at the head of cer Majesty's Government with regard to Denmark. Among the most remarkable of the statements which had oeen made by her Majesty's Government to Parliament during the discussions which had taken place on the Danish question was, that in certain contingencies Den- Inark would net be allowed to enter upon the contest with Germany alone. It appeared, however, that as matters progressed, the ground was shifted, and it was stated that in the event of certain contingencies— the Federal execution, for instance—action might be taken. The execution, however, did take place, and next (here was the invasion of Schleswig. It was then intimated that Frederickstadt was to be regarded as a sacred spot. It was, however, taken possession of by the German forces, end finally a portion of Jutland also, yet nothing was done to induce Denmark to believe that the promises held out to her would be realised. He (the Earl of Derby) would not attempt to say that England ought or ought not to have interfered by force of arms; but what he did say was that her Majesty's Government, having conveyed a hope to Denmark that, in the event of certain things occurring, England would stand by her side, the natural inference was that Denmark had been misled by those representations, and that she now had reason to complain that she found herself deserted by those by whom she had been given reason to hope that she would receive material assistance. He did not mean it to be understood, nor did he wish to con vey, that his view was that England ought to interfere by force of arms; but that had not been the tone taken by her 'alejesty's Government. The noble lord (Lord Palmerston), in his recent declaration in the House of Commons, had still maintained the same tone as that which had led Denmark to believe that she would receive support from England —that she would not be allowed to stand alone in the struggle ; because he said that, in the event of Copen hagen being bombarded, or the Ki n g taken a prisoner of war, it might become necessary to consider the matter, or to recommend a change of policy. But from the ex perience of the past there was no reason to believe that the noble lord might not, in view of these events having actually taken place, allege that some fresh contingency should yet arise before he could act. He ((he Earl of Derby) contended that this Vacillating and inconsistent policy was discreditable to the Government, and was calcu lated to lower the country immeasurably, to sink its renown and lessen its influence in the eye s of Europe. He was not himself blind to the consequ ences w hi c h must result to England if such interferenc e i n t h e a ff a i rs of Denmark should take place; but it wa s t o b e suppose d that the Go vernment who conveyed the id ea that toe y were disposed to lend them military aid sh ou ld have cons id e red the con .squences before they made such a declaration. In the part which he and these who acted with him thought they should take, it was considered right to deal with the Danish question by' itself, and not to mix it up with the Italian quesion, or with the unhappy internecine strife which was now waging at the other side of the Atlantic. The Danish question should be dealt with by itself, and the resolution which he was now about to submit for the consideration of the meeting would simply be confined to an expre , sion of opinion upon the course of conduct and the policy which had be en pursued by her Ma jesty's Government. The Government had appeared de sirous to leave it to the house to express au opinion, and they bad endeavoured :o impose the duty of eliciting that opinion upon the Opposition; but he was happy to say that neither his right hon. friend C.lr Diaraeli) conor himself had fallen into that trop. Th e noble es,. said that whilst he did not d es i re to convey ntinuation, them that he entertained a positive certainty that the resolution would beltheieved a t t h r a y t . i t N w v o h u e l t cl h c e r a r t y c w a i r t r h i e i d t H use of Comm ons , y e t hs carry with it a majority of th e Huse of C ommons or not, he and B w ch ° i l e t e h m a p i L t p i t r Y h o v e a i n v n cl o g i s e v i eno sincerely c e f e r t e h o l y e f the sixteen friends who had carefully considered the reso lution with him, and who had honoured him with their confidence on that occasion, felt it to be their bounden duty to elicit the opinion of the House of COMUMIR on the acts of the Administration. The noble earl then read to the meeting the resolution eeactelY gave notice of in the ived with loud and repeated cheering f bry Comm.l J , ihsaer meeting.aoenl s i e tl b t s w e a q su Mr. KE next addressed the man said his feeling was that the resolutio n s h ou ld em b o d y Meetin, The hon. gentle • an expression in favour of armed interference Oa boltalf of Denmark, The observation was reoeived with marks of aisapprrba• ion, and The Earl of DsRBT said he hoped that the hon. gentle man would have a full opportunity of expressing his feel ings upon the subject. The noble lord added filet he must respectfully differ from the hen, gentleman, because if the suggestion he had made wero adopted, and that such an expression as ho had advocated were embodied in the reso lution, the Opposition, in the event of their coming into power, would be bound to carry on warlike operations in favour of Denmark,and this they were not prepared to bind themselves to. An HON. MEMBER, representing a northern county, said he believed that the feeling in his par:, of the country was entirely in favour of peace. Ile reminded the meeting that the constituencies of the country would narrowly watch the conduct of their representatives. Prom all that he was able to learn he believed that, whatever the country might think of the policy of her Majesty's Government in r‘ter ence to the language held by them towards Danmark, it was decidedly in favour of maintaining a peaceful attitude. He apprehended, after the statement uade in the House of Commons by Lord Palmerston, that if a resolution such as that now submitten to the meeting were carried against him in the house, it would be regarded as a demonstration in favour of war, and to this he (the hon. member) was entirely opposed. The Earl 101.,Z13*: explained that, in his opinion, the resolution was not drama so as to convey any such pression. Trais statement was received with expressicns of appro bation, and appeared to bo acquiesced in generally by the meeting. LA 11E1= Liwziox gall that it? TM ry AbPqt to trouble the meeting at any length with opinions of his own, and had only to express his general concurrence in what had fallen from the noble earl. He was anxious to know on what day it was proposed to move the resolution. The Earl of DERBY observed that as that duty would de volve upon his right hon. friend (M.r Disraeli), he would leave him to answer the question. Mr DISRAELI said that his first intention was to give notice of the motion that evening for Thursday, and on Thursday to submit it to the house, if that day should prove convenient to the Government. On further reflection, however, he thought that perhaps Thursday would be too early a day. He believed Lord Palmerston was prepared to give every facility for proceeding with the debate, and under these circumstances he thought the more judicious course would be to give notice that evening in the House of Commons, and to move the resolution on Montlay evening. Sir Joux WALSH said that he was adverse to an oppe siien which would indulge in merely party views, but in the resolution proposed by the noble earl he entirely concurred. The hon, baronet was expressing his opinions on the subject at considerable length, when there was a general movement in the direction of the door. Mr KER subsEquewly essayed to address tha meeting, but was left with a very limited audience. 2d Surrey Artillery Volunteer Field Brigade PRESENTATION OF A PARK OF ARTILLERY, This corps mustered yesterday in great force in the Major-Commandant's grounds to receive a battery of 14 field guns, presented to the corps by Mr William Water man, of Shirley, near Southampton. The grounds pre sented a very interesting as well as formidable appearance, there bring no less than 20 field guns, the property of the corps, drawn up in line, and all in work at one time. The first muster was at four o'clock, when sundry field movements were gone through, during which several excel lent pictures were taken by Mr A. J. Melhuish. At halt-past 4 o'clock the corps retired, a regituental dinner having been prepared in honour of Mr Waterman's presentation to the corps, at which the Major Commandant presided. The usual toasts were given. The healfhs of her Majesty the Queen, the Prince and Princess of Wales, were drunk with much enthusiasm, after which Major Durnford, in an appropriate speech, proposed the health of Mr Waterman, and dwelt at some length upon the present unhappy t osition of Denmark, which was a source of regret to every Englishman. Oar sympathy for Denmark was increased by the respect we all ielt towards our beloved Princess, who had won the affection of every Englishman, and especially of the volunteers. The 2cl Surrey Artillery fully appreciated Mr Wa terman's motives in offering his battery to the King of Denmark as well as his loyalty towards his Queen, and felt proud at having been selected by Mr Waterman as worthy of his kind present. The usual toasts being con cluded, the corps again mustered in the major's grounds and resumed drill, during which a royal salute of 21 guns was fired from the Waterman. Battery in honour of her Majesty, it being the anniversary of her Coronation, after which the Royal Anthem was played by the baud, and the corps dismissed. Three times three were then given for the Queen, the Major-commandant, and of f icers, and Mr Waterthan. The ladies and gentlemen in the grounds appeared much delighted with the proceedings of the evening. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CHELMSFORD RACES, TUESDAY.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past 12 o'clock. POOR LAW (IRELAND) ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. Mr HENNESSY moved the second reading of this bill, which he said would give to the Poor Law Commissioners in Ireland the same permissive power now possessed by the English Poor Law Board of issuing orders for the out door relief of the able-bodied. He contended that while the system was expensive, it operated against the morality of the people. Lord NAAS regretted the hon. member had renewed this question, which was discussed very fully at the com mencement of the session, when it was shown that a com mittee which hal sat upon the subject had reported almost unanimously against the proposition proposed by the hon. gentleman. He denied that this bill would assimilate the Irish law with that of England, and contended that if it did tho English law could never work in Ireland. He believed that public opinion was altogether against the measure in Ireland. He, therefore, moved that the bill be read a second time that day three months. Mr BAGWELL supported the amendment. He ad mitted that the people of Ireland had too much pride to go into the workhouses, but he had no hesitation to say there was not a farmer throughout the country who would not receive outdoor relief. The people paid the rates, and ac cei,ting relief, they considered they were merely getting back a portion of what they had paid. He had himself known applicants for relief who had a thousand pounds in the bank, (Loud laughter.) Mr P. 'URQUHART supported tLe bill on account of its permissive character, and because it was only designed to meet special cases of distress, Sir R. PEEL said as the feeling of the house appeared to be against the bill, the hon. and learned gentleman would not press it to a division. He believed the law of the two countries could not be assimilated with advantage. Mr. BLAKE denied that the impression of the house was against toe bill. He thought it a good one, and ha should therefore give it his support. He hoped his hon. friend would go to a division. Mr O'REILLY supported the bill. Mr GEORGE thought the bill quite unnecessary, and therefore he should vote against its second reading. Mr MONSELL said if they wished to destroy Ireland to increase emigration tenfold, and to impose taxation too heavy to be borne, the best course they could adopt would be to agree to the principles advocated by the mover of the bill. It was perfectly idle to talk of this bill being popular with the intelligent classes in Ireland. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the second reading Against it Majority.. —l77 The bill was consequently lost. TEST ABOLITION (uXFORD) BILL. This bill passed through committee, and was reported. Air SELWYN gave notice that he should oppose the third reading. STREET MUSIC (METROPOLIS) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Mr lIANKEY inquired whether " Punch" would be prohibited by the bill ? Mr BASS—Certainly not. Mr. KNATCHBULL-HUGUESSEN said " Punch" was generally accompanied with a drum and fife, and might be removed under the scope of the bill. Mr BASS said that if the hon. gentleman would intro duce a bill protecting the ancient exhibition of "Punch," he would gladly consent to it. Mr AYRTON amusingly criticised the letters which Mr Bass had circulated from parties in favour of the bill, all begging him to persevere with his bill. He thought a person in a handsome house when music was played in front of his house, might go to the back room. Mr BASS said one organ came before, and one behind. Mr AYRTON felt it to be a measure of tyranny, aw l that if people did not pay the musicians they would not come. In private streets the music was encouraged by the domestics, and no one ever saw these wandering Italians look up to the drawing-room windows for payment. They always cast their eyes to the kitchen, and this bill would be directed not against musicians so much as against domestic servants, who were the great supporters of this sort of music Sir J. PAKINGTON thought the bill should remain as it is, or that every heuseholder should have the power of sending away street musicians if they wished to do su. He should be sorry to interfere with the German bands, because he had heard some well worth listening to, but upon a balance of considerations, he was prepared to give power to the householders he had indicated. Sir T. SHELLEY opposed the bill on the ground that it would de l :rive the poor of a means of arauseroeut. Sir G. GIi:EY thought the bill would be of great service, af i t would ena Lle the magistrates to come to a decision on a matter upon w h:ch there was now great doubt. Ha every householder should h ave th e thought it fair that . power of removing that which he considered a nuisance from before his door. Mr BASS said Mr C. Dickeas had remonstrated against this sort of -music, and it would simply be ridiculous to say that he was one who wished in the slightest degres to lessen the enjoyments of the poor and industrious classes. (Hear.) Poor Thackeray was driven from house to house by this street music, and it was known that Tenry son was driven away from London for the same cause. Sir J. TRELAWNY objected to this species of penal legislation. Mr lI.A.NKEY also objected to the bill. Mr CLAY thought the object of the bill had been mis understood. It would not stop street music, but merely have the effect of sending it from districts where it was objected to to places were the people did not object to it. Mr AYRTON having moved an amendment to one of the clauses, the house divided, when there appeared— For the amendment Against it Majority The amendment was therefore negatived. Mr BENTINCIi. moved an amendment, which gave to magistrates before whom a street musician might be con victed power to imprison him for any period not lonh'or than three days. Mr. W. R.

" 3, It is agreed between the two Governments that, in order to facilitate the regular developm en t of commercial exchange between France and Japan, the reductions of the tariff granted in the last-men tioned empire by the Government of his Majesty the 'Tycoon to foreign trade shall be maintained in fa• your of articles imported by French traders, or under the French flag, pending the entire duration of the treaty concluded at Yeddo between the two coun tries on the 9th October, 1858.
